Bronchoscopes TRIZ Cases

A drape-covered mouthpiece with porous slits and a duckbill valve limits droplet spread during endoscope insertion and disposal.

Axially slit tabs and a slide lock create quick bronchoscope coupling that still allows catheter rotation while preventing accidental detachment.

An adjustable laryngoscope mount and video stylet provide indirect airway viewing to guide intubation when direct line-of-sight is blocked.

Embedded shape sensing lets a manual flexible instrument register to an anatomical reference frame for accurate navigation and control.

Combining EM tracking, direct imaging, and ultrasound helps a bronchoscope localize lesions outside the airways in real time.

A disposable magnetic connector links a steerable endoscope to a video laryngoscope, simplifying intubation while preserving sterility.

A cable-driven flexible printhead enables in situ biomaterial deposition through minimally invasive access, reducing contamination and mismatch.

Tracks remaining capacity and separate end-of-life counters while adapting voltage output for different video laryngoscope types.

A tapered forceps cup improves puncture-hole insertability while preserving tissue collection volume for more accurate lung cancer diagnosis.

A covered epiglottis lifter protects the optical view and opens the airway for faster intubation with less force and lower dental risk.

Calculating bronchus inner diameter from volume images helps predict bronchoscope reach limits and guide insertion to the target site.
